SurroundBar - A/V Receiver test list

[beaglebc]

I am about to upgrade my receiver. The issue that I have noticed is that the impedance of most of the systems I have looked at allow for 8 ohms and perhaps 6 ohms. I know there are other threads on the topic of Impedance. I know in the manual under FAQ for the SurroundBar it states that most Receivers at 8ohms will not have a problem. I then looked at a Pioneer elite receiver and went to the support site where the major problem is with speakers not capable of 8ohms and the receiver halting.

My question is : What receivers have been tested with the SurroundBar.

It would be nice to have a list of what receivers work best at either 4ohms or 8ohms.

I would hate to make a $1000 mistake.

Thank you.

The surroundbar is rated at 8 Ohms nominal. You should not have any problems with any receiver.

BTW - I use one with a Denon, which is NOT low impedance friendly AT ALL. No problems...

Also remember not to stack anything on top of the receiver blocking its heat vents, or heat will cause it to shut down regardless of what speaker is used.
